((Third Person))
It started, as it nearly always did for the Cullens, with a bet.
The subject? Pranks. The actual bet? "I bet you I can prank those dogs better than you!" At stake? The losers were to be sent to Alice, Rosalie, and Bella for makeovers.
Sounds simple, right? It also sounds like something a five year old might say- so of course it was Emmett who issued the challenge...
But it was Jasper and Edward who took him up on it.
Emmett
It was Emmett who started- he put forth the challenge, of course he went first. That was why he was at the border with a hammer, a stack of signs, and a box of nails. He took a deep breath he didn't even need, then got started.
It was tough, since he had to stay ahead of the patrol, but all he had to do was hold up a sign and nail and tap it lightly with the hammer; Emmett's strength drove the nail through the sign into the tree with very little difficulty. He put up one sign every quarter mile or so until he ran out of signs, racing to keep from being caught by the werewolf patrol.
When his task was complete, Emmett stepped off the line into vampire territory and headed back home, grinning smugly. He could hear the dogs' furious howls and laughed.
"Well?" Jasper asked as Emmett arrived.
"He succeeded," Edward answered.
"What'd he do for his prank?' Carlisle queried. He'd discoraged the trio at first, before realising nothing he said would effect the bet in the long run.
Alice piped up, "He hung up signs saying, 'No Dogs Allowed'."
Oro: Obviously three chapters to this, stay tuned. I should have this done by Sunday, since I know what I'm going to type.
Quill: (twitches) Oro.
Oro: Yes, yes, Thy Bog Overfloweth waiteth patiently. I'll work on it over the weekend, and anyway, YOU put this idea in my head, you silly muse!
Quill: For LATER! Stupid author.
Oro: (ignoring Quill and his comments) I don't own Twilight or its characters.
Quill: Or me.
Oro: Well, I don't have a copyright yet, but I'm working on it.
Quill: You are my author, get the possessive stuff right. It's like claiming ownership of a cat.
Oro: But you're an owl!
Quill: (to readers) Since this weirdo already has it written, you might as well review. It is why the button is there, after all, and who knows... Perhaps ideas would let her extend the story to the wolves' retaliation.
